Finally after all this time I am writing another one of these tale of the photo-shoot posts. I've missed this.
I had a fabulous shoot with Onerva recently, it's a little funny how two of my last shoots have both been with the same model - she's just so great though, it's hard not to want to work with someone who is as passionate about this type of stuff as I am. Onerva really has a way of getting involved and bringing so much creative input and value to the table. It makes for some really amazing shots that I couldn't achieve alone. This shoot came together in a pretty tight time frame. After Onerva had found this really awesome place she sent me a couple of photos and then we went to check it out together. After the location scout we had 72 hours to get ready for the shoot. We had to finalise the shot-list, figure out outfits, find an assistant. Thankfully everything went smoothly and Ragna was kind enough to come help us on this shoot.

I think this is easily one of the strongest portraits I have ever captured. I love how it came together, the expression on her face, the scarf, the bright red colours. I'm really happy with how this shot turned out.

I think this is another really unique shot and definitely something that I wouldn't be sharing with you if it weren't for the amazing collaboration spirit we had with Onerva on this shoot. I'll be heading off to Estonia now but I'm excited for the next shoot I have with her!
